Reverend P. Babcock Chase Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Howdy Shotgunners, Is it just me because I occasionally shoot mine and am now trying roll crimping to get it to run better? It seems to me that there is more interest in these recalcitrant shotguns. More discussion about them and more about roll crimping. I'm wondering, Rev. Chase
Tyrel Cody Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Possibly, which means it might be a good time to sell mine !
Go West Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Use Remington hulls and it should run fine. If they are not sized right, use a sizer-checker. I use Remington hulls with an 8 point crimp and they run fine. AA hulls require some sizing.
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 I run Magtechs in my Winchester, or AA's trimmed to 2.5" No problems. In my Chiappa, I run regular 2.75" AA's, again, no problem.
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Mine has a "Moment" every time I use it and at the moment, we are not on speaking terms! I actually love shooting it, it just doesn't love me at all.
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 My 'Cap' 87 runs anything I feed it, including all brass.
Gunner, SASS #1940 Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Original and original configuration, or a clone?
Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 My chinchester has worked well until last weekend when I tried some fiocchi nearly clear plastic shells had fits getting to eje t some times. The actually would if I levered really vigeously. 2nd day used rem gun clubs much joy it was not the gun. Ordered in all needed to roll crimp
Ustas B. Slim 24680 Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 I fitted a fluid steel 97 barrel cut to 18.5 inch on mine and have had no problems (kept the original barrel)
